Now York. German newspapers
have informed their readers that New
York city for its protection has girded
itself with a barbed wire fence 625
miles in length. The Germans also
have been told that 50,000 soldiers
are guarding the port of New York,
that rigorous measures have been
taken in Chicago and elsewhere and
that Hoboken is deserted. Under
the caption "American war fever,''
the Cologne Gazette of January 16, a
copy of which has been received in
this city, publishes the following dispatch
under an Amsterdam date:
"It is reported from New York that
u barbed wire fence of over 1,0(K>
kilometers in length lias been drawn
around Uie docks and piers of New
York. This gigantic fence encircles
the whole of New York ami also the
adjoining cities of Brooklyn, Hobokcn,
and Jersey City. No one is allowed
to pass through this fence with
out permission, especially no enemy
alien.

Washington. France and Italy
have accepted in substance the proposed
treaty with the United States
respecting military service of nationals
similar to that signed with Great
Britain and Canada. Secretary Lansing
sent word to Chairman Flood of
the house foreign affairs committee
today that he had received that word
in cablegrams from the American
ambassadors.
The socalled alien slacker bill
which would compel military service
of subjects of co-belligerent countries
in thu United States; seems certain
to come up for action in the house of
tomorrow in spite of administration
opposition. Before the signature of
the British and Canadian treaties, action
on the bill was deferred upon request
of the State department.
Secretary Lansing wrote:
"Referring to the negotiations
which the department of state is carrying
on with certain of our cobelligerents
regarding military service
conventions, I desire to state for
your information that on Tuesday last
I signed with the British representative
two conventions, one for Great
Britain and one for Canada and that
I am now in receipt of telegrams from
the American ambassador at Rome
and Paris practically accepting with
a few minor changes, the proposal of
the United States to enter into simli
. .. ......
lar conventions witn Italy and
France. I am not expecting- that any
scrrious obstacle will be place<l in the
way of early signature to these conventions."

The war department is preparing

i
lations have caused great excitement
among the business men of the entire
country, because they are com1
polled to do without their Gorman
. employes if their places are near the
- docks. A delegation of master butch
ers have vainly pleaded for an allevia
3 tion of these regulations.
"The Germans who in Hoboken had

piece ?f Ornnumy have .all been forcs
ed to leave, and that port, which
M already had suffered heavily from

Production Depends Upon
Standardized Methods and
Great Care in Making.
The butter made oa the farms of
the United States may be materially
improved in quality in most cases*, if
standard methods are employed and
greater. caj;e is exeix'jxe.d .in carrying
out the pece^sary details, says the
United^^.tjuieij Department of Agriculture.
The department gives the
following outline of the essential
steps to be taken in making good
farm butter:
Details in Process of Butter Making*
(1) Produce clean milk and cream.
Coo! the cream immediatley after ?t
comes from the separator. Clean and
sterilize all utensils.
(2) Ripen or sour the cream at
from 05 degrees to 75 degrees K. until
mildly sour. Always use a thermometer
in order to know that the
right temperature is reached.
(I?) Cool the cream to churning
temperature or below, and hold at
hat temperature for at least two
hours before churning.
(4) Use a churning temperature
usually between 52 degrees and 00
degrees V. that will reuuire DO or
.40 minutes to obtain butter.
(5) Clean and scald the churn, then
half fill it with cold water and revolve
until churn is thoroughly cooled.
after which empty the water.
(8) Pour the cream into the churn
through a strainer.
(7) Add butter color from 20 to
:)c drops to a gallon of cream except
late in the spring and early in
the summer.
(8) Put the cover on tight; revolve
the chum several times; stop with
bottom up, and remove stopper to i
permit escape of gas; repeat until no
more gas forms.
(9) Continue churning until butter
granules are formed the siz? of
grains of wheat.
(10) Draw off the buttermilk
through the hole at the bottom of the
churn, using a strainer to catch particles
of butter. "When the buttermilk
is drained out, replace the cork.
(11) Prepare twice as much wash
water as there is buttermilk, and at
rbout the same tern pea ture. Use the
thermometer; do not guess at temperatures.
Put one-half the water
into the chum with the butter.
v- (12) Replace the cover and revolve
the chum rapidly a few times, then
draw off the water. Repeat the
gashing with the remainder of the
water.
v ^(.13) The butter should still be In
granular f02771 when the washing is
completed.
(14) Weigh the butter.
(15) Place the butter on the worker
and add salt, at the rat* of threenuarters
of an ounce to a pound of
butter.
(lb) Work the butter until the
salt is dissolved and evenly distributed.
Do not overwork.
(17) Pack in ajiy convenient form
for home use, or make into 1-pound
prints for market, wrapping the butter
in white parchment paper and inclosing
in a parafined cartz>n.
(18) Clean the churn and all butter-making
utensils.

Bo great is the heron's repute as a

that It's feet, owing to some peculiar
scent, or oil which tliey were supposed
to possess, attracted tno nan,? more

of Its beak. In some places the rustic
angler still believes that If a heron's
foot Is placed with his worms the latter
are more eagerly taken by fish.

SAY GERMANS CANT
INVADE BRITAIN
English Authorities Do Not
Share Col. Repington's
Fears
V
FLEET READY FOR
ANY RASH ATTEMPT
,
t
Surprise Not Possible, Says
an Eminent Naval Authority.
A London dispatch to The New
Y rk Times says: "An attempt by the
Germans to invade England would
present an interesting problem to the
navy," said an eminent authority to
The New York Times correspondent
today as he discussed Colonel Ken
ington's recent suggestion that the
Germans might before long try to
force a landing. He added: "We have
been looking for a target for a long
time."
The military expert ?upposed that
the British fleet could be got out of
the way for twenty-four hours, and
made much of the fact that the Germans
could find seventy transports
for the purpose of making a dash on
London. Moreover lie pointed out
that the disappearance of Russia as a
f-ghting factor made an important
difference.
In reference to these arguments the
naval authority asked how many men
could bo landed on an open beach in
twenty-four hours, and suggested
that 20,000 would be a fair estimate.
Then he recalled the famous saying
of Moltke that he saw forty-nine
ways of putting an army into London
and not one of taking it out again.
As to seventy transports, the navai
authority pointed out that it would
bo quite a big job to collect troops to
fill them to prepare the convoy and
to effect a junction with the escorting
fleet. It did not seem possible to
him that all this could go on without
the Sfcritish navy knowing it.
"When Colonel Renincrton sneaks
of the difference made by the chnng'
ii\ the Russian situation," he said,
"he forgot that IE0OO miles away wa
another highly efficient battleship
fleet only too anxious to have sbme
thing to do. Any real danger might
be an excellent excuse for bringing
it across, but as a matter of fact the
Russian fleet won't do the Germans
any good. They will never be able to
find crews. Their submarine campaign
and heavy losses have put
severe drains on their resources of
drained sailors, and they won't be
able to man the Russian ships.
The same problems of invasion is
discussed in The Birmingham Daily
Post by Edgar Wallace. He admits
the possibility of the attempt, but
urges that for success, surprise Is
necessary, and that . it rendered impossible
by the development of England's
air defense. He says:
"When the German decided that he
would leave to his Zeppelins and his
Gothas the congenial task of strafing
England, he automatically began to
build up those very defenses which he
had most reason to fear. No longer
could we leave coast watching to unskillful
persons.
"We were compelled by the Germans'
own action, action which produced
for him no military results
whatever, to systematize our defensive
measures and retain a type of
pilot and airfighter, which, if we had
been allowed to sink into a sense of
false security, we should have dispersed
to the various theaters of war,
and to retain for home defense the
best and fastest types of machines.
"So it seems to me that if Germany
ever had serious designs upon England
it was an act of insanity to employ
the Zeppelin and the airplane in
the bombardment of east coast towns.
At the best, air rads are stupid blunders,
though the German mentality
will neveq grasp the fact, till the war
is over and the German people learn
something of the heritage of hate
tu)d loathing which the war has left
.behind,. _,B\jt at the worst from the
militarv standpoint (and this is the
judgement which the military historian
of the future will pass) they
were acts of criminal folly against
England."
Col. Repington's Fears.
Col. Repington's view of the possi?'
bility of a German attempt to invade
England, is contained in the following
extract from a recent article: *
No one knows yet what the German
plans in the west may be, but
if they involve a series of great at(
tacks npon the Allied armies. I find

It difficult to rrrppn*e tVat tV.es? will I
not be supplemented by an offensive I
at sea. Now that Russia is com- I
pletely out of the feld, all the naval
means of Germany are at her uafeU I
tercd disposal, and as it is understood I
that Marshal von Hindenburg con.
trols both the navy and army, he i? I
likely to use the former in a military I
manner. I
Whether, and if so, how, the Aus- I
trian navy, will enter into the plana I
is quite uncertain, but here again wo I
must expect developments of a novel I
character and all preparations for
watching and fighting this navy I
be perfectly complete. I
1 regard the recent sortie of two I
Gorman ships from the Dardanelles I
as a demonstration which forms part "I
of a general plan. It failed almost ,1
completely, but it seems not unintcr- II
esting us U guide to the mentality of I
the German ligher command. I
The temptation to invade England 1
has entered the minds of many great I
conquerors and has only vanish "! 1
when adequate preparations at sea n
on land made the venture demonstrato* 1
ly too hazardous. That it will V|? 1
costly, even disastrous, now, wo uHl I
hope and bellove, hut that it may he I
attempted as not one of the hypothe- 1
sos we can afford to rule out. 1
! The great German offensive in the 1
j west against the Allied armies rnav I
cost the enemy anything from 502,j
000 men upw ard and will not necessarily
succeed. Landing in England
; might cost comparatively small
losses, and the damage done by a
force which penetrated London might
he irreparable. Danger for danger,
sacrifice for sacrifice, invasion*
j of these islands does not a'J'
pear to offer more risks than a great
stoke aganst our armies, and it
promises greater results.
It is one thing against which, even
when our main interests are centered
elsewhere, we must bo constantly on
our guard. If the command of the
narrow seas can be won by Germany
for twenty-four hours I see no good 1
oason why a considerable force of
he enemy should not be landed in
England provided they were prepared
to find their sea communications subsequently
cut.
I can certainly see n? reason why
seventy transports should not come in
convoy, why fast liners and other
large merchant vessels in German
ports should not be used, nor why
more than one and a half gross tons
per man should be allotted ti%
carriage of tho troops. Maneuvering
of such a convoy could bo assured by
the personnel of the German navy
after practice in Kiel Harbor or Heligoland
Bight, and of course, evetv
conceivable precaution wouM bo
tifken to insure surprise.
I have no doubt we shall discover,
at some future date, that tho plan of
invasion has been as constantly
made, altered and abandoned as wtis
the case in the day of Napoleon, and
that it is not tho German will to
harm us that will prevent the delivery
cf the stroke, hut solely and ?mly
our own preparations to resist it.
